A recent Wharton study found that men with close-cropped or shaved heads, such as General Motors CEO Daniel Akerson, are perceived as more masculine and dominant and have greater leadership potential.

I can only recall a couple times my head had been shaved. Once, my swimming relay team made it to state and we all shaved our heads. My mom took a razor to my head after the barber buzzed it down as close as he could. The other times were in basic training.
I've buzzed my hair down a few times. This last time it was about 3" long and it got buzzed down "high and tight." Some people started calling me "Sir" and asking if I was ex-military.The rest looked at me as though I was an outlaw biker. My neck tattoo might have something to do with that. Never did get a promotion.
I see more and more people with neck tattoos nowadays. Times are changing, soon nobody will care what tattoos or piercings people have.
I can only hope! I've been shaving the ole noggin for years, lets hope that someone reads the article and taps me on the shoulder. Lol!
I'm sorry, Ryan, but that pic looks more like you're filling your diaper (and having a rough go of it) than Mr. Tough-guy-biker-dude. Just sayin'.
Whoops, sorry. Didn't mean to post my baby pic up. Sorry about the neck tat shots. Do you have any idea how hard it is to take a picture of the back of your own neck? Probably wouldn't have killed me to smile either... But I didn't want to take any chances.
